February 27, 2011 in Norman, OK1869 views7-year old Cooper and his big brother, 11-year old Brett had the opportunity to meet Ben in Norman, Oklahoma on Sunday, February 27th.
Ben was in town to attend sister Carlee's games as her Oklahoma Sooners finish out final home games of the season.
According to the boys' grandmother, Cheryl Kent, Cooper is a "huge" Ben fan as well as a big Steelers fan and has been since he was 3-years old. "He knows everything there is to know about Ben," said Cheryl. "He can even give you details about the Super Bowl when they beat Arizona, he was 5 at the time."
Cooper wears his Big Ben jersey and carries his football to every OU Women's Basketball game in hopes that he will see Ben! As Cheryl put it, on Sunday "luck was on our side, he was there!"
Cheryl snapped a photo of her grandsons with Ben after the game.
"Ben was so kind to autograph Cooper's football and meet the boys after the game! His small act of kindness made a little fan the happiest little boy in the world. I am so impressed at how nice Ben was and how he went out of his way for these two little boys."
*Thank you so much to Cheryl for sharing the photo and story!

Ryann sends a Christmas card to "Baby Benny"862 views"My daughter, Ryann, who will be 4 years old in February loves the Steelers. She could say Roethlisberger and Polamalu before she was 2! While we were watching the Pittsburgh - Bengals game, we were doing crafts and Ryann decided that we should make a Christmas card for the team. Ben is her favorite player, especially since she found out he was going to be a daddy. Since Ben Jr was born, she has "called" to ask for a playdate on numerous occasions. Ben always says yes! So naturally she wanted to make a special card for Baby Benny, as she usually calls him. She "wrote" her message, which is on the front of the card while saying it out loud, so I tried to catch every word. We did send these cards to the Steelers, but in case they didn't make it to Ben, I wanted to share." -- Jen Wernicki, Erie, PA
Ryann's Christmas card (thanks to mom for transcribing it):
Dear Baby Ben,
Merry Christmas and I love you. I want to have a playdate with you. I want to come to your house and color your coloring books with you, and play on the computer with you at my grandma and grandpa's house. I have a balloon for you. You are so cute Baby Benny.
Love your friend, Ryann Wernicki
